| Privacy | Clipboard history is stored in a local SQLite database and is not uploaded; anonymous usage statistics are sent by default and can be turned off in Settings. | The maker says content, titles, notes, and tags are unreadable to Relic, while service metadata such as account email and item counts is collected. |
| Search | Search matches the first 300 characters of each clip and any note added to it. | Local full-text search supports exact terms, prefixes, Boolean and phrase queries and works offline. |
